Carpenter's chalk, often made of calcium carbonate or talc, is generally non-toxic in small amounts. However, ingesting it could lead to gastrointestinal irritation or discomfort. It's not intended for consumption, so it's best to avoid eating it. If someone does ingest a significant amount, they should consult a healthcare professional.
